While the name is misleading, lucky bamboo is not actually a bamboo but a type of dracaena plant. All parts of the dracaena plant contain saponins, which are toxic to cats if ingested.
Symptoms of lucky bamboo poisoning in cats can include:
* Vomiting
* Diarrhea
* Loss of appetite
* Depression
* Drooling
* Tremors
If you suspect your cat has ingested lucky bamboo, it's important to contact your veterinarian immediately.
To prevent your cat from getting into lucky bamboo:
* Keep it out of reach of your cat, preferably in a room they cannot access.
* Consider growing other cat-safe plants instead.
It's always a good idea to research the safety of any plant you bring into your home if you have pets.
